Dungeons & Dragons: Pathfinder, Call of duty
The long-running war between the Ratkin and the people of the isle has been nothing but stalemate for more than a lifetime, becoming little more than an excuse for pointless heroics and high taxes. The nobility send it's sons and daughters to a life of war and adventure whilst the common folk strive to service an empty throne. But maybe this will all change...
Secundus Lord Tremaine has summoned you to the capital for a private briefing. Rumour has it that he is seeking new and unknown faces to undertake some... special purpose for the good of the crown. Surely it is an opportunity that any family could not afford to miss?
This is a D&D:Pathfinder game for 4-6 players, starting at 1st lvl but using the fast xp progression tables so hopefully a few levels gained.

Salvation
(Deadlands: Reloaded for Savage Worlds)
When the Reverend Doctor Adamson's Travelling Preaching Show arrives in the mining town of Salvation out in the Great Maze (which was once known as the West Coast of California before the Great Quake), it heralds a change in the wind... Secrets are about to come out, a murderer will be brought to justice and a destiny will be fulfilled... for good or evil.
A Wild West soap opera combining a heady mix of Deadwood, Carnivale, American Gothic and Twin Peaks, this game will cast the players in any of the roles they want to explore, from the town drunk all the way up to the Reverend Doctor Adamson himself! Be part of his show, be one of the townsfolk or be an outsider with their own designs on Salvation.
- Explore the cavernous mines that riddle the ground around and under the town.
- Deal with rail barons, mercenaries, bandits and missionaries.
- Hunt Maze Dragons and other improbable creatures stirred up in the wake of the Great Quake.
- Investigate the mysterious happenings that take place after dark in Salvation.
This promises to be a multi-threaded narrative held together with a heapin' passel of rootin, tootin' action shootin'!

F**KED UP
It is a horrific time in human history, but then again, there are always horrific times in human history. Mankind has brought technology to a point beyond his morality. Those who have money and power use it for nothing more than gaining more money and power…that, and to satisfy their every perverse desire. People who have been toying with magic have brought things into this world that were never meant to be a part of it… monsters and demons of all sorts, who are higher on the food chain that humanity is. Attracted by the strife and terror racing through mankind, aliens from far away worlds have descended to the Earth to take what they need from us, heedless of whether or not we need it more than they do. And the average person on the street has NO idea that the wars and disasters that they see on the news are the results of a war for the future of all mankind. The evil corporations and mad scientists want money and power. The demons and monsters want terror and strife. The aliens want domination and conquest. The average citizen in this world has no idea about the above and has no difficulty walking down the street to the ATM, taking out twenty dollars, going to a burger joint, ordering a cheeseburger, sitting down and having lunch. However when you walk down the street, you feel eyes watching you from every window and traffic-camera. Taking twenty dollars out of the ATM alerts the world financial organizations of your location. Going to a burger joint, you may find that the meat is being treated with mind-control chemicals or might even contain human flesh. Sitting down and having lunch is an invitation for ninjas and robots to flood the restaurant and start a running gun battle. Humanity, you see, has become cattle. Demons from the underworld and aliens from beyond the stars have discovered that humans, and their terror, tastes good. Overpopulation has created a massive supply of Mankind: the other other white meat.
The players can be anything from magic. psionic, superpowered, Martial Artists, cybernetic and/or normal but all have one thing in common, one or more of their loved ones has gone missing. They've all turned up at a support meeting and it all breaks down from there.
The games uses the Hot Chicks Inverted D20 system, and should be lots of fun with lashings of ultra-violence. For film references think The Matrix/They Live and Blade Runner. For comic fans think Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, Secret Six and Nextwave.

Call of Cthulhu - Walker in the Wastes pt2
Set in 1929 Alaska the investigators are hired by Alfred Barrow to track down the elusive 'Crozier Bear'. The game continues from last long block. When it comes to allocating places preference will be given to existing players. If any of them opt to play something else the game could easily accommodate new players. Max 6 players.
